Subject: [CR]WTB: Modolo brake parts, Hi-E axle

Anybody out there sitting on a set of Modolo brake blocks for my silver Professionals? Not the sintered pads -- sure they stop better, but it always broke my heart to see what they were doing to the sidewalls of my Lasers -- but the original black rubber ones. Not sure if they were available as blocks, or only with holders. If the latter, I'd prefer silver, though if pressed, I would go for blue anodized. Also, I could use a pair of the rubber adjusting "donuts", which are notched, and unlike any others I've seen. Hate to just go to the hardware store and sort through the O-ring bins, though I may have to.

Finally, I'd love to find a 126mm axle for a rear Hi-E hub to prevent cold-setting a frame that will soon be graced with Signore Pergolizzi's sexy Saavedra wheels. Will trade for 120mm, or buy as needed; this is a rider, so functional is important, NOS isn't.

Perhaps a wild goose chase for all items, but one doesn't know if one fails to ask...
